Reports of the illegal site were made to both Sheffield Council and South Yorkshire Police and the travellers were spoken to.
On Wednesday, the council said: “We have visited the site to speak to the occupants and provide advice and support in relation to waste and health and safety.
“We have been assured that this is temporary and all those currently on site will vacate by Friday 30 April.
